Abstract Located in Trujillo Perú, Ganoza Orbegoso House was originally built
for residential purposes and is popularly known as "Old Center" for
being the first school in the city.
Due to the collapse of structures weakened by age and overuse, it is
not given a use nowadays, and remains in state of abandon. Because
of the deficit of public spaces for the promotion of art and culture in
Trujillo, it has been consider by the owner to recover this historic
building and to convert it to a Regional Identity Museum.
This paper contains an analysis of this house values and a report of the
physical status in which it remains, in order to determine what type of
interventions should be performed. These interventions have been
identified and it is needed to execute Preservation and Restoration
actions, specifically proposed clearing, structural consolidation and
rearrangement. Although a project could not be complete without
giving this house a new use, which is why guidelines for rehabilitation
also known as a “mise en valeur” are also part of this Plan.
Introduction Trujillo is a coastal town in La Libertad region of Peru which has a
peculiar Historic Centre, with a grid layout. In its main square in one
corner is located the Ganoza Orbegoso House, a well-known historic
building. This building was declared Historic Monument by Supreme
Resolution 2900-72-ED becoming part of the Peruvian Monumental
Heritage.

Until 2008 public school "Pedro Mercedes Ureña” was located in this
building. Unfortunately, it was necessary to wait for this building to
be declared a high risk of habitability to move out the school, despite
of being established in the National Building Regulations1 as
incompatible the educative use in monumental buildings in Historic
Centres of the country.
It has been over a year after the school eviction and time is running
against as the building remains abandoned. However, contradictorily
judging from the outside, the building looks in good condition. This is
due to an erroneous policy of "recuperation of fronts," which only
encourages a false idea about the physical state of the monumental
heritage of the Historic Centre. This action of monumental makeup is
generated by a tourist interest, but the Urban Architectural Heritage
cannot be measured only by its tourist potential, but the historical
content that their very presence transmits to the community that lives
with it.
The Regional Government, the owner of this building, has become
aware of this fact and has sought to develop a Conservation Plan and a
future project of adaptive use. The Conservation and Management
Plan presented in this document has some main objectives:
- To suggest proper actions to the owner, the Regional
Government, for the restoration and the permanent actions of
conservation of this historic house.
- To provide the guidelines to be followed for the mise en valeur
project.
Therefore the following document responds sequentially to three
major questions: What to conserve? Why conserve? How conserve?
Background: What to conserve
History
Ganoza Orbegoso House is a Colonial - Republican building of the
eighteenth century, part of the local collective memory. This house
was the former residence of the Ganoza Orbegoso family.
According chronics registered2 there was a competition among the
General Iturregui and Mr. Ganoza Orbegoso; each one wanted a
house of exceptional merits, therefore the greatest admiration of the
city. The case came to an end when Mr. Ganoza boasted of having
a front in the Main Square.

The house was purchased by the De la Puente and Ganoza family.
Later it was housing of the last mayor of the Viceroyalty Don
Manuel Cavero y Muñoz. In 1908 the State represented by the
General Director of Primary Education Dr. Justo Perez Figerola
acquired the third part of the house for use it as Trujillo School
Center for Boys. In 1910 the School moved to all the rooms of the
house, and acquired the name of a famous character of Trujillo
"Pedro Mercedes Ureña”.
The building was used from 1910 to 2008 as primary school. Given
the age of the building, it has been known for decades as “Old
Center”. Currently and for over a year the building is unoccupied.
Location and surroundings
The architectural whole of the Ganoza Orbegoso is located at the
corner of the Jirón3 Almagro #418 with Jirón Independencia in the
Main Square at the Historic Centre of Trujillo. This property is
registered in the name of the Regional Government of La Libertad.
The area occupied by the property is approximately 3131.16 m2,
occupying almost one fifth of its block (figure 2).
The surroundings of the house are made up of Historic Buildings
with front to the Main Square, the majority of are in very good
condition and occupied mostly by Public and Private Institutions.
The facade of the Ganoza Orbegoso house took third from the front
of the block, and highlights noticeably because of its height and
large balcony.
3 Since 1862 all continuous streets in Peruvian Historic Centres are called “Jirón”.

Description of the building
The building has one floor in the majority of his area, and 2 floors
in the elevation front. The spatial organization develops as in most
houses in Trujillo, influenced by the Pompeian house, around two
courtyards: the main yard and the back yard, and a garden. Around
the principal yard are the first main reception rooms, and grouped
around the back yard are the secondary and some service rooms. In
this case, the part of the garden no longer exists and corresponds to
recent constructions. (See Appendix 1).
Outside, the main front is of Ionic order, in the second level there is
a balcony of British influence which is the second longest of the
city. On both sides of the front door are located asymmetrically
three large and four small windows with metalwork and four Doric
doors with friezes of triglyphs and circles and lilies bas-reliefs in
the metopes.
The one floor facade of Jirón Independencia has a magnificent
high-rise window and simple doors and windows that complete the
composition.

For purposes of description and subsequent analysis the house is
divided into four zones, the first three relate to the historic building
and the last zone to contemporary additions which were made to
comply with educational use.

Zone 1. It consists of two mezzanine floors, spiral staircase from
2nd
floor to terrace and main balcony. From the Main Square by
Jirón Almagro is the main entrance, followed by the “zaguán”4 and
on the sides there are two rooms that served as administrative
offices. In this area the building has too floors with a balcony along
the second floor facade. On the administrative offices there is a
mezzanine floor with two rooms that served as classrooms, whose
entrance is through wooden stairs.
Zone 2. It consists of 1 floor: Main yard, gallery and rooms. By the
main entrance is accessed to the courtyard which is in the same
level as the offices. This courtyard is surrounded by a zone of
rooms which were classrooms and a gallery surrounding it on three
sides; these spaces have a height of 1.60 m. over the yard. The
room’s height grows to up to 4.90 m.
Zone 3. It consists of 1 floor: auditorium, terrace and other rooms.
Through a passageway connects the gallery with the auditorium
and a partially roofed terrace located at the rear of the house. At
both sides of the terrace there are rooms that served as classrooms.
Zone 4. This area is a modern construction. It consists of a game
court, toilets, the side entrance, a staircase, and other rooms. Here
there is a gateway to the Jirón Independencia.
- Structural system (zone 1, 2 y 3)
The building is generally constructed of adobe5 on the first
floor and quincha6 material on the second floor. The walls are
made of adobe and constructed bracing each other. The
average width of walls is 0.80 to 1.00 meters. In the back yard
wall height reaches 6.55 meters, and requires the presence of
buttresses or vertical braces. On the second roof, and walls are
made up of quincha.
4 A “zaguán” is in generic terms, a covered space located in houses, usually near the door. In this sense,
has a similar meaning to lobby. It is a transit element, not housing.
5 Adobe is a natural building material made from sand, clay, and water, with some kind of fibrous or
organic material (sticks, straw, dung), which is shaped into bricks using frames and dried in the sun.
Adobe structures are extremely durable and account for some of the oldest extant buildings on the
planet. 6 Quincha is a traditional construction system that uses, fundamentally, wood and cane or giant reed
forming an earthquake-proof framework that is covered in mud and plaster.

- Architectonical elements
The floors of the rooms are timber frame, timber structures are
supported on wooden beams embedded high at 1.60 above the
floor. Architectural elements such doors and windows are all
made of wood and glass; columns, capitals and friezes are
made of wood. There are also decorative elements such
balusters and pinnacles made of iron.
Analysis: Why conserve Conservation status
In 2008 the Peruvian National Civil Protection Institute conducted
an inspection to the Ganoza Orbegoso house and determined that
his physical condition was bad and meant a risk to students and
school staff. Thanks to this report came the eviction of the Ureña
College.
In this case, to determine the conservation status, analysis tables
were used for each different parts of the Ganoza Orbegoso house.
(56 tables were developed, See Appendix 2 for a sample of them).
In addition each room has been codified (See Appendix 1).
In general, the deterioration mainly caused by the intensive and
inadequate use of the architectural whole, is seen in the structural
system and architectural elements:
- Structural system (zone 1, 2 y 3)
Through a visual inspection is quickly identified structural
cracks in walls and roofs and humidity in the adobe walls (fig
16). It is known that one of the biggest enemies of adobe
structures is humidity because it loses compaction. The roofs
have in some cases detachment of stucco ceiling (fig.17), in
other cases humidity in stucco plaster finish. Zone 3 is the one
having the worse condition, having been used as a deposit,
some beams there are on the verge of structural collapse.
(fig.18)

- Architectonical elements
In general, the conservation status is regular from the
architectural point of view. However, the floors are in terrible
condition because of leaks (fig 19) there is loss of glass
elements in the doors, some elements such as balustrades,
pinnacles and cornices have been removed or are rusty (Fig.
20), ceiling decorations, rosettes, are incomplete (Fig. 21),
some windows frames and doors have been sectioned or
attacked by xylophagous (fig.22).

Causes and Problems
Current main causes of the problems threatening the Ganoza
Orbegoso house are:
- Abandonment of the building.
- The continued deterioration due to climatic changes which
generate heavy rains that weakened the structures.
- The ongoing seismic activity in the Peruvian northern area.
- The indifference of the institutions with interference on
Architectural Heritage to assume responsibility for its
maintenance.
And the main problems are:
- Structural failure: cracks in walls and roofs
- Missing drains in roofs
- Loss of wall and roof stucco plaster
Values analysis
The importance of a monumental building lies in the qualities or
meanings it has, and is decided to conserve it based in their values
acquired over time (Rivera 2008:10). Under the qualitative analysis
model used in Peru7, the following values are identified in the
Ganoza Orbegoso house:
Cultural Values:
- Historical Value: Is located within the ellipse area enclosed by
the historic wall. It rescues the architectural style of its time
(Neoclassicism). Also, more than three hundred years of
existence make this House part of important history periods of
Trujillo. Besides it owns the title of the first school of the city.
- Antiquity Value: it was built in the eighteenth century.
- Aesthetic Value: It has spaces with a high aesthetic value due
to its proportions and harmony, for example the first courtyard
and the main rooms. It also has unique details on doors and
windows, plus capitals and friezes.
- Architectonical Value: Two elements are essential in the
decorative aspect of the republican house of Trujillo: the
balcony and the windows. This house has a facade with one of
the major and long balconies of the Historic Centre of Trujillo,
as well as the first neoclassical wrought iron windows in the
city.
7 The qualitative analysis used locally (UNESCO 2000:177) is composed of three groups of values:
Cultural, Community and Emotional Values.
Figure 23: Corinthian capitals and balustrade

10
- Urban Value: It has this value being based in urban use with
respect to:
Allotment: two fronts creating high accessibility to the
building.
Urban Trace: preferential location in the Main Square as well
as advantageous location in the block, getting two corners.
Volume: completely geometric in his face, highlighting in the
urban landscape of surroundings.
Height: with a two-floor neoclassical facade clearly
differentiated from the typical Trujillo colonial house of one
floor.
- Authenticity Value: It maintains its original structure, which
dates from the time of its construction when it was designed as
an interpretation of Neoclassicism adapted to local modus
vivendi.
Community Values:
- Social Value: Due to the educational role fulfilled until 2008.

Emotional Values:
- Sense of Belonging and Identity: It is taken as part of the
Trujillo architecture, being respected.
- Sense of Continuity: As a building it remains being impressive
today, despite its condition.
Proposal: How conserve
In 2009 the Regional Government of La Libertad, current owner, in its
role of promotion of integral and sustainable Regional development,
decided to include the Recovery Project of the Ganoza Orbegoso
House in its 2010 Investment Plan. Although the kind of intervention
in monumental areas of the house was evidently restoration, for
months they discussed the proposal of intervention in the
contemporary construction (zone 4), and was finally decided due to
the shortage of public spaces generators of culture that was necessary
a Museum for the city of Trujillo.
The choice of the Museum theme was part of an external consultant
which came to the conclusion that the best option was a "Regional
Identity Museum".
Therefore, the Recovery Project of the Ganoza Orbegoso House
includes the maintenance, conservation and restoration with a
proposal for rehabilitation.
Preservation, Restoration and Maintenance(1st, 2
nd and 3
rd zone)
The Preservation and restoration actions are planned to be executed
in parallel and in no more than 8 months (this time is conditioned
by political interests).
- Objectives
Retrieve the original architectural distribution
Improve the structure and seismic behavior of the building
Restore the affected areas of the historic building by
overuse.
- Preservation:
1. Immediate actions
Emergency shoring
Drainage System: downward pipes to drains rain waters.
Temporary Roofs
2. Actions to mitigate or eliminate external agents responsible
for deterioration
Humidity control
Roofs repair
Xylophagous control
Figure 26: Damaged intrados of wooden arc

3. Actions to repair damages
Floors: Treatment with wood preserving chemicals.
Walls: Fix stucco plasters and then paint all walls based in
the stratigraphic creeks, including façade.
Doors: Replace windows and place door locks. Apply
varnish to the wood. Paint according to wood color chart.
Decoration: Replace existing lamps rusty.
Wooden Arcs: Restoring intrados of wooden arcs.
- Restoration:
Based on the archaeological studies and historical
documentation, the following restoration actions are proposed:
Clearing:
This action will be to withdraw the new inserts that alter the
spatiality in order recover the original spacious rooms in the
house and the façade.
In Zone 2, in room codified F-019, is necessary to remove
the ceramic tiles and wooden board that is closing the door
vain (fig. 29).
In the Zone 1, 2 and 3, extract embedded blackboards of
F-004, F-005, F-010, F-012, F-013, F-016, F-01 7, F-020,
F-021, F-022, F-025, F-032, F-033, rooms that have been
used as classrooms (fig. 30). In zone 3 there is a brick wall,
built to adapt a school tent, which breaks the original
architectural reading of the second yard (fig. 31).

13
In the Zone 4 this action means to remove the existing
contemporaneous additions that do not follow a harmonious
architectural reading with the historical part of the building
and whose function was only for educational use. (fig. 32)
They should also be removed from the facade elements
belonging to advertisement.
Consolidation:
The second action would ensure stability in horizontal and
vertical elements that are prone to collapse, to integrate and
give strength and solidity to the building to ensure its
perdurability.
Rearrangement:
The last action to be performed would be restoration of
some parts or elements of the house to recover its original
distribution, based on physical evidence such as traces on
adobe wall, walled openings, etc.
In Zone 2 is necessary to restore metal railings, wooden
pinnacles and cornices and to complete decorative elements
such as rosettes. In addition some openings that have been
closed must be opened in order to obtain the original
entries.
During all this process, it is necessary to make photo
documentation during and after the restoration actions.

Budget is a major issue in any project. In Peru, it becomes
even more crucial when dealing with a public property,
because for receiving Central Government financing is needed
getting the SNIP8 code so the project can be declared feasible.
The SNIP code approval is mainly based on the balance of the
budget and the social benefit.
8 SNIP is an administrative system of the Peruvian Government that through a set of principles, methods,
procedures and technical standards certifies the quality of the Public Investment Projects.

Because of budgets manipulation antecedents in various public
sector organizations, the Regional Government decided to
commission to an Architectural Consulting firm the
development of budget and technical file.
Rehabilitation: mise en valeur
Adaptive use of buildings is often the only way that historic and
aesthetic values can be saved economically, and historic buildings
brought up to contemporary standards. (Feilden, 2008:11)
- Objective
Generate a use that encourages compliance of the Historic
Centre Vision9 for 2010, established by the Management and
Development Plan of the Historical Centre of Trujillo10.
As mentioned the result of a Consulting firm investigation is that
the best future use for this house is a cultural space, represented as
a Regional Identity Museum. This museum will become an
Information, Preservation and Dissemination center of La Libertad
Region Memory. This is a place that outlines the different cultural
manifestations of the regional population over the history of La
Libertad.
By generating a public use in this building is being respected the
Land use Map of the Management and Development Plan of the
Historical Centre (Municipality of Trujillo, 2001:72). Additionally,
this option is backed by Article 5 of the Venice Charter (ICOMOS,
1964) which mentions that “The conservation of monuments is
always facilitated by making use of them for some socially useful
purpose. Such use is therefore desirable but it must not change the
layout or decoration of the building.”
However, because the proposed mise en valeur is an independent
project and to ensure the compliance of the above article latter part,
is relevant establishing the criteria evaluation of the future
proposal:
The project's impact on the integrity of the Ganoza
Orbegoso house values.
Respect for the architectural patterns of the Ganoza
Orbegoso house in the contemporary additions.
Reversibility of new constructions undertaken, like
elements that allow full accessibility (e.g. ramps)

vocation. Greater Cultural Centre, of business and tourism, headquarters of specialized, recreational
and financial commerce. Housing Place, safe environment and environmental quality. Meeting place
and community representation, space to upgrade the cultural and political diversity. Symbol of Trujillo

process.

The use of new elements and building systems to
differentiate the contemporary intervention.
The design of a transitional space that integrates the historic
building with the new building.
As well, the architectural proposal must also comply with all
articles of Chapter III "Projects execution in monumental urban
environments, and historic buildings" of the Normative A.140 of
Cultural Property in Peru.
Method Research process
The process of collecting information to achieve this Conservation
and Management Plan was initiated in August 2009.
While there has been a great help that the building is publicly
owned, in some opportunities because of political differences it has
also meant trouble when it was necessary the intervention of other
institutions.
Discussion and interviews
It has taken numerous meetings with political authorities and
representative groups of the community in Trujillo, as well as with
institutions that eventually evade the responsibility of maintaining
this building.
Meanwhile the Regional Government also hired Architectural
Consulting for the specific topic of the adaptive use. Nevertheless,
this issue was also subjected to public debate
Study documentation
Fortunately we have obtained the help of junior professionals for
gathering information and updating of plans. However, one of the
hardest tasks has been inventoried, as some elements of such doors
and windows have been removed from the building and had to be
searched.
Budget
The budget for the development of this plan was very low, delaying
some work and conditioning the use of technological tools.
The work of gathering information was part of the tasks outlined in
our Monumental Heritage Management Office.
Current Status of the Work The Conservation and Management Plan is completed, but not
approved already, as it is in evaluation by Cultural National entities.
Although the Regional Government is hardly interested in start the
intervention in May 2010.

Discussion & Conclusions Intervene publicly owned buildings has advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, being an asset that belongs to the municipality, some
internal paperwork, such as permits for analysis and tests, are easy to
perform. However, procedures involving other public entities become
complicated because of political differences. This means the first
lesson learned: despite the latent interest of professionals to work in a
public building, the support is conditioned by political and legal
frameworks. The second lesson learned is that unfortunately, an owner
of Municipal kind, cares more about investing in a project of popular
impact rather than protecting the real memory of the community. So
even budget for preparation of the Plan is very tight, and in the case of
the rehabilitation of the building the owner will try to propose a
commercial use to recover their investment as quickly as possible.
As for future problems, the greater concern is relative to time: if this
plan is not implemented during this administration, it is highly
probable that the next administration only for political reasons could
reject the project.
Furthermore, about the developing of a Conservation and
Management Plan of a historic building, this experience corroborates
the need to consider the following 3 points:
- A historic building, and even more if it is located within a
monumental environment, cannot be treated as an isolated fact
and is transcendental from beginning to have very clear the
vision and mission of the context to which it belongs in order
to collaborate with those.
- The community participation should be mandatory, not only in
opinion polls and surveys but also in the process of
architectural intervention: If the population is not involved in
the project, is being promoted the loss of identity with the
Historic Monuments and in the future they won’t feel
motivated to safeguard the collective heritage that represents
the monumental architecture.
- The approach should be multidisciplinary, despite having been
established in international charters the trend is not usually the
application of this rule.
Finally, I believe that implementation of the Conservation and
Management Plan of the Ganoza Orbegoso house will become the
starting point for other plans and projects of intervention justified on
the idea of preserving the values present in the buildings of
monumental architecture of Trujillo and not deprive that cultural
legacy to our future generations.
